Singapore Airlines

Can you help to restore the revision before the Codeshare partners list was changed (without affecting other edits)? User:WxProHaha have changed the list for the Codeshare partners and all the sources were removed and the listing of airlines are now in the wrong order, it just seems to be a mess. Thanks! Metrosfan (talk) 00:19, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Technically: no. But I know how to fix it. The Banner talk 01:33, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Superfluous, already done. The Banner talk 01:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Talk to Talk

Why is a source citation needed if the flights begin today? Are you currently at the departure location? What about the other editors who do the same thing? Is it wrong to help? Vineyard93 (talk) 02:10, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT is the answer. And it was not enforced for a while, but the last year it is. The Banner talk 02:43, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
How about I repost it tomorrow since the flights are now starting? No citations are needed since the airlines haven't provided updates, but the flights are listed. Does that work? Vineyard93 (talk) 02:53, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
It will be reverted. The Banner talk 03:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Talk to Talk

Some editors deleted this destination even though it previously existed and has resumed. Why are sources needed if the airline hasn’t posted about it? Vineyard93 (talk) 02:19, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT is the answer. The Banner talk 02:41, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

No, it is mandatory to add independent sources when a connection is added. The Banner talk 03:03, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Why did you remove my changes to libtorrent clients?

I have added new column with info like files ordering which I think is really important to know and filling it. And while I was editing it you reverted all of my changes with comment "Revert strange edits". But there is no strange moments. Every edit has supplement comment about it and it has meaning. MrMarvelS30 (talk) 15:32, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Only https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients&oldid=1283607783 edit has formatting problem when I moved column. Idk why does it happen but I already wanted to revert only this change. But not everything I have done. MrMarvelS30 (talk) 15:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
I have dereverted normal changes. If there is some problem I am glad to talk about or fix it.
I am new to wikipedia edits and specific Talk ways so I can make some errors. MrMarvelS30 (talk) 15:50, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
To be true, no relevance at all. The Banner talk 15:54, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

I see you just reverted with new comment "Revert, no relevance and unsourced". What do you mean by no revelance and unsourced?
I added "file downloading ordering" features in table in libtorrent clients topic because different clients provide or not provide (or provide badly) this feature. So these edits are revelant to topic. But what do you mean by unsourced? I have testing this feature by myself.
— MrMarvelS30 (talk) 18:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
@The Banner:, can I ask you what do I need to add and change to be approved? I want to add this info to help others like me with finding perfect client for downloading serials and other specific tasks.

Airline/Destination tables

If you want to add citation-needed tags to encourage removal of routes that have terminated... could you first try looking on Google Flights - https://www.google.com/travel/flights - (yes, independent of both airline and airport) to see if the airline still flies the route ? You can add up to 6 origin airports or 6 destinations airports in a single search which will help you save time. If they sell tickets, it's likely to end up with me adding a source from OAG eventually, so you may find that you will be wasting your time a bit. Do remember of course that routes to places in the Alps (e.g. Grenoble or Chambery) are more likely to see flights in the European winter ski season, while routes from northern Europe to the Mediterranean are more likely to see tickets on sale only during the summer (think July, not April). Pmbma (talk) 21:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Lviv Airport

You asked why I reverted, I explained in detail. You have the right to disagree, but why did you call my action malicious when I had given my reasons ? I thought the aim was to work together ? Pmbma (talk) 22:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

See my following edit. The Banner talk 22:35, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Source for new destinations

There is no need for an independent source. As long as the source is verifiable and reliable, independent sources are not required. So, stop reverting blindly. — LeoFrank  Talk 11:18, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

No, that is not true. WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT specifically states: The consensus among the participants in a 2023 request for comment (RfC) was summarized as follows: "airlines and destination tables may only be included in articles when independent, reliable, secondary sources demonstrate they meet WP:DUE". A review of the closure of that RfC yielded no consensus to overturn it. And you are on the brink of editwarring, what is not a good idea. The Banner talk 11:23, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Can you stop reverting all my edits?

Removing my edit for Claremorris having a very cloudy climate for being "unsourced" is ridiculous, as you can clearly tell from the climate graph. GN10Gaming (talk) 14:23, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

No, it is not clear from the graph and none of your edits have a valid source. The Banner talk 14:29, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Going by your other comments it seems you've created your Wikipedia account just to revert people's edits if they don't have a "valid source" GN10Gaming (talk) 14:35, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Just read WP:V, WP:SYNTH and WP:NPA. The Banner talk 14:37, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Quite impressive that you lack the ability to interpret the mean monthly sunshine hours data from the weather box. GN10Gaming (talk) 14:47, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Just give sources. Readers should not have to search for the evidence of your statements. The Banner talk 14:59, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
What makes providing climate information "disruptive"? GN10Gaming (talk) 17:43, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
And maybe pay attention to what you're removing as you removed an entire "Events" section and didn't add it back. GN10Gaming (talk) 17:44, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
You are re-adding graphs that are not backed up by the given source. And about the events section, my mistake after one GN10Gaming was dumping a climate section in the wrong place. The Banner talk 17:50, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Yes, that was my mistake adding the climate section in the wrong place, and I apologize for that. However, there's no need to go through someone's edits and try to revert every addition they've made. In what way did the given source not match the info? Do you have a personal vendetta against weather boxes? Hence the term "dumping a climate section" GN10Gaming (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
I only have an issue with unsourced edits and graphs that are effectively unsourced because the source is not backing up the actual info. The Banner talk 17:59, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

3RR

You are very aware of the policy, so you understand I have to give you this template.

Stop icon Your recent editing history at Moretonhampstead shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Canterbury Tail talk 18:42, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

That is fine, I already walked away from that user. That user clearly has no idea what he is doing. The Banner talk 19:08, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
The fact is, edit warring is edit warring even if you think you're in the right. GN10Gaming (talk) 22:49, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
It is good that you are aware of two things now: first that you were edit warring and second that now an admin is looking over your shoulder and can see your substandard, often unsourced, edits. The Banner talk 23:13, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
You're at just as high a risk of being blocked from editing than I am. The fact that you even got this message shows that you were also involved in edit warring and judging by your previous dispute with LeoFrank, this isn't your first time either. GN10Gaming (talk) 23:43, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Yes, I should have walked away from your substandard editing a bit earlier. And yes, people tend to get upset when their poor sourcing is challenged. The Banner talk 23:48, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
I know how it feels. I too have had to correct other peoples substandard editing on several occasions. GN10Gaming (talk) 23:52, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
In that case you should review your sources regarding climate graphs. Like the unsourced edits, like the additions of info that are not backed up by the source, like the sources that are WP:SYNTH, or the sources that in fact are links to nowhere. The Banner talk 00:13, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
You're right, and I apologize. In my mind I was trying to be helpful by providing additional information, but in the future I will pay more attention to sourcing my edits properly. GN10Gaming (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Time for action then... The Banner talk 08:45, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Bognor Regis

Once again, you're on the brink of editwarring and repeatedly reverting my edits despite me giving a correct source. The claim in the article about it being the sunniest mainland weather station is false, even for the 1981-2010 averages. You also keep throwing accusations around about me not giving a correct source when I provided a link to the Met Office averages page which contains the 1981-2010 climate information. GN10Gaming (talk) 13:14, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

You are funny. You just removed valid sources but did not add any source of yourself. That is why I have added the period for the claim as given by the sources. The Banner talk 13:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Just waiting for you to check the Bognor Regis talk page and see that Folkestone was in fact sunnier during the 1981-2010 period, according to the official Met Office website. GN10Gaming (talk) 13:47, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Kualanamu International Airport

I'm not sure if you're being serious or just trolling, but you've reverted my edits with the claim that the article is "still unsourced and the target airport still gives no information about scheduled flights." However, I have already provided credible evidence from Flightradar24 showing that Gunung Sitoli does have scheduled flights. Could you please elaborate? Cal1407 (talk) 12:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT every connection needs an independent source. And than means in the article. And did you check the other airport for a flight schedule? The Banner talk 12:47, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I agree that for destinations where the existence of flights is doubtful, sources are necessary. However, per WP:NOR, information that is easily verifiable doesn't always require a citation. Also per WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT: "Per WP:VERIFY, references must be included for "any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged," and this includes the list of destinations"
In this case, Flightradar24 already shows that the flight exists, and it's been agreed on the project talk page that it's a reliable website. That should be sufficient to demonstrate the existence of the service without cluttering the article with excessive cn tags. While it's always ideal to include references, I don't think every single destination requires a citation, especially when the information is both obvious and easily verifiable. Cal1407 (talk) 13:15, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Why are you so afraid to provide a source in the article, when you have a source? The Banner talk 13:19, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Because having too many citations would only clutter the table. That destination has existed for a long time and is easily verifiable, so a citation isn't necessary for that case. Cal1407 (talk) 13:26, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
It is not clutter, but an improvement of the verifiability, conform WP:V. And I clearly challenged the verifiability by asking for a reliable, independent source. The Banner talk 14:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
If you're wondering why the other airport's table was empty, it's because someone accidentally deleted it. I've since restored it. Cal1407 (talk) 12:49, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I just noticed it was not there, that was why I was asking for independent sources in the article. The Banner talk 12:52, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Mactan-Cebu International Airport

Please stop reverting edits for Mactan-Cebu International Airport. I can strongly assure that Philippine Airlines has added another destination (Seoul-Incheon). It just happened that they did not formally announce it. Their official website and flightradar24 already includes one daily Cebu-Seoul flight starting April 26.

T'way Air no longer includes Cebu as one of their destinations since March 30, 2025. They axed their Cebu service without formal announcement.

Per WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT we need independent sources. The Banner talk 02:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
